Chapter Six: A Crown Is Warranted With Strength!

  queenfiona

  After the battle with the Tres Magia, most of your time is speing everything up in the Nacht Base. And though you had po head home after that, Mei said she needed a sitter for Korisu after school and offered to let you do the job. Which is just as well, as Venalita told you that you’re meeting with other members of Enormita from out of town tonight. Sht now, after texting your beloved and precious Utena to make sure she knew you’d be home te, you’re just spending time with Korisu, with her sitting in your p as you do some bonding…

  “See? Now we’ve got all the *erial G*ndam parts, so we make a new G*np out of them! Maybe we attae of the G*nbarrel Str*ke parts? Or we could stick *erial’s head on a Q*beley! Wouldn’t that be cute?”

  Korisu briefly pokes at the paint menu, shakes her head, then tugs at your shirt.

  “I know, I know, the gamepy’s pretty basic, but that’s just how B*ndai is. It’s more about the gamepy loop than anything else.”

  Korisu tips her head to the side, then looks at the *S5.

  “I mean, y more *rmored C*re, but you seemed pretty frustrated at B*LTEUS…”

  Korisu tugs on your shirt again.

  “No, we ’t uninstall the patch so we cheese it with the un-nerfed Z*MMERMAN. Wouldn’t help as much as you’d think, anyway. Besides, don’t you want to make *yre happy?”

  Before you switch games, though, Venalita floats in, pcid as ever.

  “It’s time. Transform and e with me to Nacht Base!”

  Transform first? To meet your allies? Well, better safe than siven what happened with Kiwi, maybe it’s better you keep your anti-reition magic active until you know for sure it isn’t going to end in another battle.

  Simple enough.

  “Trans-Magia!”

  You embrace the darkness you call home, and Korisu follows you. Enveloped by power, the two of you bear the mantle of vilins of Enormita, and step bato the portal to the newly renovated Nacht Base.

  And as you transform…

  Korisu stares at your body in fasation. It’s not a feeling she uands, but it’s one she’s built on from the start. Like whereated Utena’s cold…

  Though her mother is ruly ful, she’s absent more than Korisu would like. So she’s gotteo being babysat by friendly adults, or spending lots of time around doctors, teachers, even her mother’s coworkers. And she’s learo admire them. Cherish them. Emute them. They’re all so dependable and pretty, after all, why shouldn’t she look up to them?

  Korisu deeply cherished her new friends, Utena and Kiwi. Silly as they could be, they were the most important thing in the world. But they were just that little bit too young to give her that same feeling the adults in her life did. You, oher hand…

  you were right there.

  And her mother’s i, too, made her dream. Two mommies…

  You couldn’t pick up on Korisu’s thoughts, of course, as you wandered into Nacht Base. Especially as you were too busy fondling yourself again. Squeezing your breasts. It was making Korisu blush, to be sure, but you just couldn’t help yourself –

  ah.

  Oh dear. You have milk!

  You notice, all of a sudden, and it’s not the least bit unwele. Really, it’s exactly the right dire for your lewdness. They’re small, sure, but like your daughter’s they stand proud above your corset.

  The moment Korisu sees it, she stares.

  And the moment you see her staring, you pick her up in your cables and bring her into your arms.

  “Are you thirsty, Korisu? Is my sweet little Korisu ied in my milk?” As you hold her tight, as your cables around under her dress, she nods so blushily, and she reaches out for your breast, and…

  ah~

  You giggle madly and hold her so lovingly, letting her drink all she likes. Korisu is so very sweet, after all. You could hink to deny her such a thing! And it feels good, too, doesn’t it? It’s so adorable how she defers to you. Korisu is a model citizen of the new world Enormita should create! Loving, gentle, pyful, obedient.

  You soon fet all about the meeting, simply wandering through the base holding Korisu in your arms, letting her drink her fill. Letting her fall for you. Embrag her in your cables under her dress…

  In that same moment, at the other end of the Nacht Base, Enormita’s inal members returned after their st magical girl hunt, to seek out one of the st remaining magical girl teams in the try…and the new members that were, supposedly, inteo join their anization to bulk up their numbers.

  What they expected was the same gloomy, desote pce they’d always held their vilinous meetings in. Instead, a newly redecorated Nacht Base greeted them, oirely unfamiliar to the eyes of the founding members of Enormita:

  Lousica, the aspirialentless idol and killer noisemaker.

  Leberblume, the gloomy maniputor of shadows and assassin of magical girls.

  Sister Gigant, ever-loyal retainer and heavy (literal).

  And st, but never, ever least…

  “…what the fuck happened here?”

  Lord Ehe true leaderess of Enormita, first of her name.

  The nation’s magical girls had learo speak of her in fear. Hushed tones, a story told of an uable vilin, who had harvested and cut down tless magical girls, colleg their transformation items as trophies. No one k was true until it was too te, Enorme and her Lord Squad striking down team after team after team.

  Enormita is supreme, and righteous. Eeiques, dominant, and uable. If the gods themselves defied her, then she would kill the gods! When the Lord Squad took up a mission, they would succeed, or suffer the wrath of Enorme, acc to their vilinous w!

  Born a vilin, die a vilin!

  But right now, after returning to Nacht Base uhe instru of Venalita to meet her new recruits, Enorme had somethiirely different on her mind than world domination. Namely…

  Why the fuck did their base now look like a cheap student lounge?!

  Everything was surrounded by cheap IK*A furniture, benches and beds and couches and fake potted pnts, vending maes and K*urig coffee makers and all kinds of random snacks and a fug bar and…

  Oh, an espresso mae? Fancy! Actually, that might be alri–

  No! Enormita isn’t that kind anization in the first pce! Creature forts are for other, lesser beings, not Lord Enorme and her…her…

  “Hey, how do you like your coffee, Sister Gigant?” asks Lousica, as she starts grinding beans for the mae and cheg out the bar.

  “…tte. Pumpkin spice.”

  “Lemme just check…yep! We’re good to go!” Loco proudly pulls out a big carton of milk and a bunch of random spices and fvor syrups. “in’ right up! Leberblume always loves this one.”

  “Uh huh. At least you’ve got ohing yood at,” says Leberblume, snickering.

  “Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?!”

  Ugh. Betrayers. A real viliakes her coffee bck, anyway. Even if it burns and it’s bitter, even if she chokes it back with a grimace every time, it’s the only way Lord Enorme possibly feel alive!

  All this must be the fault of that…ridiagia Baiser!

  Lord Enorme had watched Baiser’s battles with the magical girls, and she wasn’t the least bit impressed. It was like she wasn’t even trying to kill them. Did Venalita not provide proper instru? That mascot is so very troublesome…

  Yes, they would have to be taught the proper way to fight as members of Enormita. Perhaps, they were simply misguided, and could be saved. But if they chose to resist, Enorme would show no mercy –

  ah, it appears that Magia Baiser is arriving noroag the lounge from a distance, carrying her junior Nero Ali her arms, and…

  What is she doing?

  “Hey, who’s the pervert?” Leberblume says, squinting over at the approag figure. “Is that the Magic Fucker chick or whatever?”

  “She looks taller than I remember,” says Loco. “Did she always have the tentacles? And where’s the soldier girl who’s always ging to her? Y’know, ge Leopardon. Or whatever.”

  Lord Enorme freezes up. Why…why are you breastfeeding her? Are you here to just make a mockery of Enormita?! She won’t stand for it! This is about world domination, not sexual assault!

  Though, oher hand…while you do bear a very strong resembo Magia Baiser, Lord Enorme quickly cludes it ’t be your daughter. If Venalita let you in, you’re probably not an enemy, but…best not take any ces.

  “Who goes there?” Lord decres, sweeping her hand forward toward you. “Who dares to step into my domain?”

  ht, you were supposed to meet the other members of Enormita here, weren’t you? You almost fot, you were too busy enjoying Nero Alice’s attention~

  You gently nudge Alice, who relutly lets go of your nipple, and you pat her on the head a her down, your myriad of tentacles leavio the other vilins’ shod horror, their obvious leader aside).

  “Me? I’m Victricia Baiser! And this is Nero Alice, my beloved apprentice.” Without even needing to be prompted, Aliods to you, ging greedily to y. “No doubt you were expeg my daughter, but I’ll be taking over her position from here on out.”

  “Oho? I see,” the leader says, clug her tongue. “A you approach me, no doubt knowing what a failure your daughter and her friends have been tanization?”

  “Oh, tossing out the accusations early, are we?” You cluck your tongue right back. “Tsk, tsk. So, to whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?”

  “Heh…rejoiinion mine! For you have the rare pleasure of being in the presence of your ruler, Lord Enorme, founder of Enormita! And this is the Lord Squad, hunters of magical girls and Enormita’s chief executives!”

  Lord…Enorme? And the Lord Squad?

  You blink.

  Okay, first off, this Lord Enorme is aboslutely terrible at names. ‘Enormita’ is a terrible o begin with. Does she have growing powers? Does she get huge? Is it just a refereo her (admittedly very nice) breasts? It’s not anywhere near intimidating enough. It o be something like the D*rk Queendom, or Sh*cker, or Neo Z*on, just…anything but ‘Enormita’!

  Sedly, and more saliently, she’s the founder and ruler of Enormita? Aren’t you…

  you immediately look to your left, where Venalita is h in pce.

  “Wait. I thought you said I was the leaderess.”

  “Oh, that? I meant the leaderess of the local branch of the anization. Sorry for the fusion.”

  “You’re so shit, you know that?” You cough. “Venalita’s poor choice of w aside, Lord Enorme, perhaps you aren’t aware of my own battle against the Tres Magia earlier today. Would you care to be enlightened?”

  You snap your fingers, and a magical dispy es up, showing all sorts of I recs of your battle, humiliation, a of the Tres Magia. Enorme’s subordinates look on and nod among themselves in approval, while the Lord herself chuckles and waves her hand around.

  “Impressive. You’ve clearly got the strength your daughter cks, and the resolve, too. Might I ask where Magia Baiser and her minion are right now?”

  “Well, I’m afraid she won’t be joining us. As her mother, I’m very disappointed in her ck of dedication to world domination.” It was that, right? That’s definitely what you were worried about when you heard your daughter was the leader of an evil anization. Totally it. You and Aliod together in agreement. “And Leoparde was a traitor, who assaulted me upon my accession to my daughter’s position. Perhaps she’ll see the error of her ways, but she’s nowhere near strong enough to keep up with yours truly.”

  “I see. Well, then, it seems my hostility is somewhat mispced. You’re certainly not the bungler your daughter is, are you?”

  An older woman…I hate to say it, but Venalita’s really chosehis time, Ehinks, chug to herself as she eyes you from head to toe. pared to her absolutely worthless daughter, she’s a perfect fit for my ideal world…

  (“Hey, isn’t the boss ag a bit weird to you?” says Leberblume, as they sit around the bar with Gigant and watch the two ‘leaderesses’ talk it out. “I thought she’d bite this dy’s head off for daring to talk back to her…”)(“She’s clearly got a thing for older women,” says Loco. “If she wasn’t so dedicated to her bit, she’d probably be sliding into her DMs as we speak.”)

  “But are you sure you have what it takes? Even if you’re strong enough to defeat magical girls in battle, do you have the resolve to finish the job?” Enorme waves her hand, scrolling through the footage until she finds when you had Magia Azul fully in yrasp. “I will admit, the Tres Magia did retreat before you could defeat all of them. A failure, but not unfivable. But why didn’t you kill Azul? She was absolutely at your mercy.”

  “…kill her?” You mao quash your obvious disgust, at least outwardly, although Alice isn’t quite so capable of hiding her feelings. “Why would I do that?”

  “Are you not aware of what we do?! Venalita, I’m disappointed! How she tribute to the magical girl hunt if you don’t tell her what she’s meant for?!”

  “It’s not time yet,” says Venalita. “Even you took some time to get used to the job, didn’t you?”

  (What is Venalita thinking, you wonder?)

  “It’s a ridiculous strategy, in the first pce,” you say, brushing bae of your hair. “There are only so many transformed heroines in the first pce, aren’t there? They’re a rare and valuable resource. sidering that, you’re basically eliminating your own potential bour force. It’d be much better to recruit them to your cause.”

  “You must not be aware of my power, Baiser,” says Enorme. “No magical girl I’ve ever met could stand against me for long. They’re all athetic creatures who don’t have what it takes to tribute to our world domination.” She raises her fist and grins proudly. “A is warranted with strength!”

  “It’s true, strength is o rule the world. But the talent to wield it properly is just as important. And no one rule the world alone, you know? Just think through the logistics of it.” Hm, it seems it’s time to put your college education and years of w experieo use! Enorme’s older than most of the magical girls, but she ’t be more than college age, you think. “You ’t be everywhere at once, or even pay attention to everything at once, as evidenced by the fact that you were unaware of my existeil you arrived here today. The process of hunting individual magical girl teams all by yourself, as strong as you are, is also highly ineffit. You might have lucked out in terms of it sg to the entire try so far, but what if you’re taking oire p?”

  (“Do you know what she’s going on about, Leberblume?” Loco asks.)(“Absolutely no clue. I zoned out the moment she said ‘logistics’, tee bee eehch.”)

  “You need resources! And you need soldiers! Workers! Employee perks! Putting all the burden on yourself is a one-way trip to burnout!” (Is it just you, or does Enorme wi that st word?) “You need public retions, too. And espionage. What if the world’s govers caught wind of your pns? No ventional on could stand against you, but they might well try disc the secret behind the creation of magical girl transformation items. You’d have a whole army, literally, of magical girls bearing down upon you!”

  “All very good points.” Lord Enorme cps – genuinely, in fact. It seems a bit of an effort for her not to be sarcastic, actually. “But how do you io break the hearts of magical girls so they’ll join us as minions of evil?”

  “Through reeducation.” You grin, baring your fangs. “Magical girls are a blight on the Earth, after all, but they’re recruited as young, naive girls who know nothing of the real world. Stain their hearts bck, one way or another, and they’ll have no choice but to see that Enormita is the only way forward for humanity’s future.”

  “It’s a bold strategy. And dangerous. If they betray us, knowing our secrets, we would be handing our enemies a massive advantage.”

  “Audentes Fortuna iuvat, my Lord.” You bow to your so-called superior, and Alice curtsies in turn. “I was testing my abilities on Magia Azul, in fact. My daughter made Leoparde her loyal servant with her electric shocks; my trol over such power is far more refined. I’m sure, with time, I could refihem such that any magical girl will simply dan the palm of your hand…”

  Ah, yes, now Enorme sees the appeal. It’s not enough to simply crush magical girls. To see them fall to evil, to see them fall from grace – that’s the true pleasure of a viliness, that her Enorme nor Utena could uand.

  (And this gives you hope, that you teach your sadly misguided daughter that magical girls aren’t to be looked up tushed over, but looked down on…)

  “Very well, Victricia Baiser. It’s clear that though your strength is far eclipsed by my own, you have a keen mind for strategy and tactics that is a true asset tanization.” Lord turns and faces her subordinates, who seem to be pying on their phones and…oh, that tte looks really good, actually. “Isn’t that right, my sweet subordinates?”

  “Uh, yes, totally! Whatever you say, my Lord!”“Sure, boss, whatever.”“…mm.”

  “But I ’t simply accept that alone. I need proof of your strength, your loyalty, your viciousness. Even your rategy will require us to thhly defeat the magical girls, and I won’t have you or your little Alice be dead weight to us! I propose a mock battle to test your abilities, to prove that you’re worthy of being my advisor!”

  (“Advisor? Already?” says Loco. “You mean Victricia Baiser outranks us now?! Lord couldn’t be more obvious if she wrote ‘fuck me mommy’ on her e!”)(“This really isn’t good for the boss’ image, is it,” says Leberblume.)

  “Your terms are more than acceptable, my Lord,” you say, reag with your cables to pull Enorme’s hand close and bending down to kiss it. (Don’t think you didn’t catch her blush.) “May I ask for a brief moment for Alid I to prepare?”

  “Ah, of course. Never let it be said that Lord Enorme is anything but magnanimous. I want to see you at your best, after all.” Lord Enorme chuckles, and wanders off to settle onto a couch like a throne. “Prepare wisely, Victricia Baiser. I will show no mercy to you!”

  “Great!” You cp your hands together and smile brightly. “In that case…” You then wander over to the bar. “Hey, before we fight, could you make me one of those pumpkin spice ttes, too?”

  “…eh?”

  And so, you and Alice are soon lined up in ay training field in the Nacht Base dimension, opposite all four members of the Lord Squad. It does seem the slightest bit unfair, sidering these are experienced magical girl hunters, admittedly…

  “Don’t you think we should match our numbers?” Loco asks, looking over toward Nero Alice skeptically. “Fainst two is kind of an unfair battle, isn’t it?”

  “You’re right,” says Lord, looking over at you, then at Alice. “That’s why I’ll be fag Victricia Baiser by myself! Much more fair, don’t you think?”

  “W-wait, you’re just fighting her on your own? And Nero Alice has to fight all three of us? That seems even more unfair! Aren’t you just trying to get some aloi–”

  “Are you questioning my orders, Loco?” Enres down at Lousica. “I thought you’d know better by now.”

  “N-no, my Lord! Y-yes, my Lord! W-we’ll beat up the little girl if you want!” Loco salutes, sniveling toward her superior. “I-if you really want…”

  “Heh.” Leberblume grins. “And here I thought beating up on weak magical girls was y, Loco.”

  “Nero Alice is different! She could listen to my song!”

  “Yeah, you’ll be the leading idol ien-and-under set, great job.”

  “D-don’t make me kick your ass!”

  You know. It’s unbeing of a parent to think this, you suspect, but…

  god, Lod Leberblume are losers, aren’t they. They’re even worse than Kiwi, which you didn’t think was even possible! You’d never want Utena to hang around them! Not like Alice, who’s such a good girl, yes she is~

  Indeed, a very good girl, you find out, as you get to witness her prowess in battle.

  Despite fag down three magical girls at once, Alice has no fear, leading them on a wild goose chase around the Nacht Base as you and Lord watch, until she leads the three of them into her dollhouse.

  It seems that Alice has total trol of whatever’s i, whatever ‘toy’ she pleases. It’s a power you’ll be able to make great use of, you think. And the little fantasy that Alice has e up with…

  “And so, we stand here, to celebrate the sealing of the vows between wife and wife,” Sister says, holding rosary beads as Lousid Leberblume stand across from one another, Lo a dress and Leberblume in a tux… “Do you, Leberblume, take Lousica as your wfully wedded wife, for richer or for poorer, 'til death do you part?”

  “I do.”

  “And do you, Lousica –”

  “Absolutely not!” As Alice’s attention and energy start to waver, Lousica starts to break out of her spell. “Why would I want to marry her?! She’s always bitg about me! I’d die before I married someone as awful as her!”

  “Takes oo know one, bitch! Sounds like a skill issue! You’re ten thousand lightyears too early to ever marry me, you know!”

  “Lightyears measure distance, Leber-bitch!”

  Yep. Totally losers.

  Sister, awakening from the spell herself, decides to simply infte herself, lifting the roof off of the dollhouse and pulling out the two squabbling lovebirds.

  “It was an unfair little test, but Venalita said it was the best way to demonstrate Nero Alice’s power,” says Lord, the two of you somehow having huddled close together as you watched the battle through a magical s. “sidering it was three o wasn’t a bad showing, was it? They might have broken out, but before then, they were totally at her mercy…” She licks her lips, and you smile, knowing that you’re teag Lord a very important lesson.~

  “And you’re sure it wasn’t just to get you and I aloogether?”

  …for just the briefest of moments, you think you’ve pierced through Enorme’s armor, but she recovers quickly and stands up, pulling away. “It’s only proper that you and I should face off alone! If I’m to trust you as my advisor, I’ll accept nothing but the stro!”

  “Then I’ll accept your challenge.” You leap away, the both of you heading onto the roof of Nacht Base, fag one another. “I have to prove you’re strong enough to wear the , after all.”

  And with that, the battle begins.

  The two of you fly and csh around, before Lord Enorme unleashes her power. Monsters of bck goop appear all across the roof, in massive numbers…you could practically destroy a city like that!

  “Power seeps through my stars, enveloping the world in darkness!” Enorme yells, as the goopy creatures reach for your cables. You’re able to raise them out of the way, but your flight abilities are nowhere near as good as your daughter’s, and it’s hard to keep up…

  Looks like you’ll have to start pulling out the big guns.

  “Victoria Raya!” you cry, as a third eye opens up on your forehead and sweeps a ser beam through the monsters, providing safe ground to bounce off of and maintain both altitude and speed, leaping just before the goop overwhelms you.

  “Cutting through my monsters like that…but you’ll never be able to keep up, you know. My strength is limitless!”

  “It is pretty impressive,” you say, but as you weave your way across the roof, seeking an opening, you ’t help but think there’s something…off about the way Enorme fights.

  Oh, to be certain, her power is immense. Greater than your own, even! It’s easy to see how she could hunt down magical girls so relentlessly, or how she could rise to the leadership of an evil anization, even keeping such losers like Lousid Leberblume in line. But it’s all raw strength. There’s no finesse. No teique.

  It’s like, you’re imagining, her power isirely her own. It isn’t earned. Like instead of developing the skills o face the game’s challenges, she simply pumped her stats and outgeared them through exploits or even ht cheating…

  Clearly, that’s why Venalita chose her to lead Enormita! A limitless well of strength that could take on a whole army of magical girls! Blessed with a deliciously dark soul! But…

  But you were raised on *rmored C*re! You didn’t have outgearing and outstats! You couldn’t just level and upgrade past all your problems! You had to develop skill! Enorme’s never o get good! It’s a talent only an adult raised on old games could have!!!

  You won’t be able to survive taking on Enorme’s monsters head on, but if you just reach her…

  Electricity crackles around you as you focus it into your attack. All you need is an opening for one decisive blow!

  “trare…Lasero!” you yell once more, and all your tentacle ends produing beams of light, striking as many monster masks as you ! Enorme is fident, you see it, but you just o reach her…

  If you could only reach her…

  If you could make her smile –

  Both your fists, both your blows, both your bodies and magical powers react to one another, and explode outward, the two of you flown sky high. It almost seems like maybe it was a mistake to go all out…

  but you’re both saved. By a huge Sister Gigant’s boobs.

  The two of you boun them, one on each tit, before you find yourselves rolling into her cleavage. Aah, you always knew boobs would save your life someday! And by the time you both settle, you’re id right on top of her…

  “Heh. It was a tie. Even with my superior strength, you found a way to reach me.” Lord Enorme, humbled, accepts the result, much to the fusion of Lod Leberblume watg from the bar. “Very well. I, Lord Enorme, supreme ruler of Enormita, decre that Victricia Baiser is my advisor!”

  Aah, yes. Just as you predicted. There was no question she’d accept you in her power structure in the end. Someone who only think in terms of power ’t match up to someone who’s actually using their brain and choosing their battles.

  In a way, she’s almost as childish as Alice, really…although in a deeply endearing way, that reminds you so much of how you were when you were younger. She might have the strength and the vision, but she clearly cks the skillset and talent to achieve it. Already, she’s deferring to you, even if she ’t see it.

  Well, it’s okay.

  If Lord Enorme wants to believe she’s the leaderess a little lohen you’re more than happy to indulge her little illusion.

  “Brave Lord of mine…” you whisper, as you brush your cwed fiips over Lord Enorme’s cheek…

  “thy strength befits a .”

  “You ged the pn on a whim?” asks Sister Gigant, as she observes Enormita’s other members from high above going their separate ways after the battle. “That’s not like you, Vena.”

  “It had to be done. I couldn’t risk Naoko leaking our pns. But I have to say…” She grins madly, eyes going wide. “She’s more than I dared hope for. I was worried, but this dispy is so magnifit!”

  “You don’t think she’s too dangerous? Her power is already off the charts.” Sister yawns. “If she gets much stronger, she might escape yrasp and start drawing outside the lines…”

  “She’s too old for that to be a . We keep her under our thumb until it’s time for her to bloom. Don’t you think?”

  “And what about Michiko? You ’t just keep pumping her full of externally sourced mana forever. She was supposed to fall to Utena, in the first pce.”

  “Not to worry, Sister. I’m sure Naoko will take care of it in the end. Everything here is in the palm of my hand…”

  Ae herself, Sister Gigant sighs.

  You’re so transparent, Venalita, she thinks. It’s no great feat of manipution to trick children into your bidding, now, is it? The moment Victricia Baiser figures out what you’re really up to…

  Maybe it’s time for me to resider my career options.

  Around midnight, a certain womaurns to her workpce at a local venieore. By day (or rather, by day and/ht depending on her shifts), she is Tanaka Michiko, college dropout and freeter.

  By night and/or day? She is Lord Enorme, and she hunts, and schemes, and plots for the sake of the only true social reform this wretched world could ever see: world domination.

  Yes, ihe world is rotten to the core. The nation is in dee! The demographic crisis, the eic downturn, the threat of petty politis and their overtures to war, the destru of the biosphere…the only remedy is rulership of the Earth under one leader arong hand!

  And someday, they’ll see. They’ll all see. All of humanity will bow to Lord Enorme’s will! With the assistance of her brilliant new advisor, Victricia Baiser, nothing will stand in the way of Enormita’s quest –

  “Hey Michiko hon, are you okay? You’ve been ihroom for a while.”

  “I’ll be right out, boss!”

  “'kay, have fun posing!”

  …right, work, yeah. Holy, maybe Victricia has the right idea. They really should get paid like the Tres Magia do!

  After quickly freshening up and ging inth) uniform, Michiko wanders out of the bathroom and over to the cafe shelf. “Hey, boss, I have a coffee before my shift?”

  “Yeah, sure, go ahead.”

  Michiko takes a cup and goes to serve herself some coffee…and leaves a little room on top, so she pour in a bit of cream and sugar. Her advisor would let her do it, right? Just this once, maybe it’s okay.

  Ae what she might think, her boss definitely notices, as Michiko tries to surreptitiously put it in and pce the lid on before anyone see.

  “Y’know, you look kinda happy today,” her boss says. Seeing Miile without being prompted is rare enough on its ow alone finally trying not to look tough with her coffee habits. “Did somethin’ good happen? Are you lucky in looove~?”

  Ae herself, despite an instinctive desire to protest and to fume, after the battle she had that night…Michiko ’t help but smile brighter.

  “You know what, maybe I am.”
